3 Infallible Tips for Removing Wax Stains.

1. Removing a wax stain from a hard, smooth surface

If wax gets on a hard, smooth surface, like a table, let it dry. Then use a razor blade to remove it.

2. Removing a wax stain from a fabric

Wax fell on the tablecloth or your garment? Lay the fabric flat. Cover the stain with blotting paper. Run the iron set on low over the blotting paper. This will absorb the wax which has become liquid again.

3. Remove the halos left by the wax on a garment

For a perfect result, proceed as indicated in step 2.
Then put a dose of baking soda in the bleach tray of your washing machine. And launch your program.

Result

There you go, the traces of wax have completely disappeared :-)
